4.7 The rate constant of a chemical reaction normally increases with increase in temperature. It is observed that for a chemical reaction with rise in temperature by 10°C, the rate constant is nearly doubled and this temperature dependence of the rate of a chemical reaction can be accurately explained by Arrhenius equation,
k = A
Thus, the rate constant of a chemical reaction normally increases with increase in temperature.

Reaction rate is used to measure how fast or slow reactions occur per unit time. The rate constant is a proportionality factor that remains constant for every reaction.
Yes, in elementary reactions, order and molecularity can be the same, but this is not always the case because order is an experimental quantity, and molecularity is a theoretical concept.
Reaction Kinetics, also known as chemical kinetics, is the study of the rate of chemical reaction and the factors affecting the reaction rate, such as temperature, concentration, and catalyst.
